Once you have decided on the sport, you need to decide which bet you will place. The bookmaker accepts the following options:
- Single bet: a stake on a single event. If the prediction is correct, the winnings are calculated by the odds multiplied by the bet amount.
- Express: A combination of several outcomes into a single bet. All events must be played to win. The odds of all outcomes are multiplied to increase the potential winnings.
- System: A combination of multiple outcomes.
- Live bets: predictions during the course of a match or other competition. The odds in this case are unstable and change depending on the situation on the field.
The company offers different markets for prediction. Let us list the main ones:
- Outcome (1X2): bet on a win for the first team (1), a draw (X) or a win for the second team (2).
- Double Chance: bet on two of the three possible outcomes (1X, 12, X2) to increase the chances of winning.
- Total (over/under): a bet on the number of goals, points or other parameters of a match. For example, a bet on "more than 2.5 goals" wins if 3 or more goals are scored in the match.
- Both Scores: a bet on both teams scoring at least one goal.
- Handicap (handicap): A bet on the conditional advantage or disadvantage of one of the teams. For example, a handicap (-2) means that a team must win by at least three goals.
- Exact Score: A bet on the final score of a match.
- Long-term bets: bets on the results of the championship before it starts or at the very beginning.
Odds and margins
Odds are numerical values that show how much you can win on your bet. For example, if the odds on an event are 2.00, this means that for every $1 bet, you can win $2 (including your bet).
Margin is the percentage that a bookmaker adds to the probabilities of events to ensure their profit. For example, if the true probability of an event is 50%, a bookmaker may set the odds so that his margin is 5%. This means that the actual odds will be lower than they would be if they reflected the true probability.
Payment systems
The bookmaker accepts dollars and euros for payment. In order to make a payment you can use the following methods:
- Bank Transfer;
- MasterCard;
- Maestro;
- Visa.
Our opinion about the bookmaker
